New York bank shares range much
higher than last year, and out of fifty
six banks examined there are only
eight which show no advance. The
largest advance is in the First Nation
al, which has gone up from S1.075 to
81 500. On the other hand the famous
Chemical bank has declined from ST.
700 TO 50, 400. The latter is so band
some q price, however, for shares
which originally cost only 800 that
most banks would be glad to decline
to the same hgure.

The late Marshal Pelissier once
struck his aid-de-camp in one of those
fits of uncomfortable rage for which
he was notorious. The officer took out
his pistol, pointed it at Pelissier, and
pressed the trigger. 1t did not go off.
"A fortnight's arrest, calmly said
Pelissier. That will teach you not to
keep your arms in such bad order"

An1n,r,c.,inu Inv nccision.

The point Of law involved in the case Of
Bullock VS. Guilford, heard and decided 10y
the supreme court this week, and elsewhere
reported is Of peculiar and universal in
tcrest The decision of the court is, in
short. that resident of this state must
pay taxes in Vermont on mortgage invest
ments which he holds in Massachusetts or
elsewhere outside the state regardless of
the fact that he personally pays taxes on
the property in that other state.
Under the Massachusetts, law mortgaged
real estate is set in the list one-half to the
mortgage and one half to the mortgagor.
The case, then, is like this. a, who lives
in Vermont, loans $1,000 ON mortgage to Il
in Massachusetts,. The property is listed
in Massachusetts, at $4,000 and $1,000 of it
is taxed to Bin that state and $1,000 to A
in this state But Notwithstanding A pays
taxes ON the property in Massachusetts, he
must also put it in his list and pay taxes on
it in Vermont.
The county court decided differently last
September, but on an appeal taken by the
town of Guilford the decision is reversed
and the ruling is practically a final one.
The Windham county lawyers, we think,
were substantially unit in regarding the
decision of the lower court as right, and
while they must now gracefully submit to
the ruling of the higher court they fail to
/ sec" the principle of equity on which the
| decision is founded

A Though, From the Accident.


Journeying ON together, aud in meas
ure bound in a common destiny, little more
than a week ago were the happy lovers
out for gala day the father and son re
turning home from visit the college
boys fresh from the scene of festivity the
fugitive from iustice-these and many
more, all pursuing their own ends and all
more or less oblivous of their fellows In
the glare Of the burning bridge how many
episodes of human history thus lay bare
before US And when the next day the
world read the dreadful details, who so
wrapped in his selfish interests but his heart
softened in sympathy
That was indeed an interesting band of
travellers, but it was our common humani-
ty that aroused our sympathy and the ter
rible disaster only cleared our vision. Ev-
cry train that hurries through our midst
goes as heavily laden with loving, sorrow
, ing, shining, rejoicing humanity as that
over which lowered the angel of death.
/ The strangers who iostle by us on the street,
or the acquaintance who carelessly re
spond to our careless nod of recognition,
are just as full of human interest Let us
not wait till sudden disaster awakens bit
of unavailing sentimentalty in their re
, gard. Let us learn the lesson of instant
aud generous service, day by day.

The Investigation.

The railroad commissioners have been
steadily at work this week ON their investi-
cation of the accident and its causes Be
sides taking the testimony of several
wounded persons they have recalled the
engineer and further questioned him He
said that when the signal bell sounded he was
about in the middle of the bridge he in
stantly applied the air brake, and at the
same time looking saw the train falling,
and at once opened wide the throttleto save
the forward part of the train. After yank
ing away from the train he did not shut off
again till he reached the opposite side of
the bridge. This accounted for the engine
running so far after the signal was given.
Judge Neazeys son. who has recovered
from the shock and gone back to college,
gave his testimony ON Tuesday. He was
in the sleeper with young Dillon who was
burned. He thought the train was going
slowly and it seemed TO come almost to "a
stand still before the cars went over When
they struck the ice and he found he was
unframed he at once began to look about
He thought Dillon, who was pinioned in
his berth, was hurt badly and thought he
must have been smothered before the fire
reached him.
No new facts of Importance about the
accident or its causes have been developed.

The President sent to Congress last week
veto of what is known as the dependent
pension bill, This bill proposed to give SIP
month to every Union soldier who served
three months, who is dependent on his own
labor for his support, and who is now inca
pacitated for earning his own support by
mental or physical disability however in
curred-that is to say whether the disability
is the result of his service in the army, or
has since come upon him independently of
such service. The reasons for the veto
given by the President in his message are
that the measure is uncertain in its terms
and that it is a long step toward the adop-
ton of policy in pension legislation which
would impose a serious and unjust burden
ON the country. He shows that every esti-
mate thus far made of the cost of any Civ
en- measure of pension legislation has prov
ed unreliable and far below its actual cost
though this consideration 'should not be
set against patriotic duty or the recogni-
ton of a right" Still the fact must be
borne in mind that the growing pen
sion list and expense have swelled to enor-
nous proportions, and now represent the
interest at per cent of public debt of
over two thousand and five hundred mil
lions. Should this new bill be so interpret
ed as to include, besides those totally dis
abled and now a burden ON their friends or
supported in poor-houses, those who are
only partially disabled, the number of pen
sioners would rise from 1854 900, the present
figure, to upward of million, and the an
nual outlay for pensions would be doubled
1t is natural that this action of the Presi-
dent should arouse decided difference of
opinion in the country, but the general SEN
timent of the press, with few notable ex-
ceptions, sustains the principle upon which
the veto is founded The unfavorahle crit
icism is applied chiefly 10 the inconsistency
which the President has shown in vetoing
this bill while he showed no hesitation in
approving the Mexican pension BILL which
was even more sweeping in its provisions,
giving - a month 70 every man over 60
years old, regardless Of his condition. wheth-
err sick or well, rich or poor, who was en-
rolled for sixty days in the Mexican war,
and the fact that any of these Mexican vet
Grams afterwards fought against their coun-

Mrs Horace Mann, widow of the great
leader in popular education and reformer
of the Massachusetts common schools, died
at her home in Jamaica Plain, Mass, last
Saturday morning, Her age was 80 years,
and she survived her illustrious husband 27
years For few weeks her suffelings had
been extreme from a complication of dis
eases, but she passed away peacefully, and
with unclouded vision saw the friends she
longed to meet waiting with outstretched
arms to greet her Mrs Mann was the sec
ond daughter of DR., Nathaniel Peabody, the
eldest being Miss Elizabeth Peabody and the
youngest the wife of Nathaniel Hawthorne
She was a woman of high intellectual cul-
ture and power, and she and her sisters
have made valuable contributions to Amer
lean literature. Her life has been one of
great beneiicence to suffering humanity, the
slaves of the South, the freedmen and the
Indians being among the objects of her ac-
tive benevolence. Mrs Manns mother and
the wife of Chief Justice Royal Tyler of
Brattleboro were sisters, being the daugh-
tiers of Joseph P. Palmer of Boston, among
whose descendants are found so many dis
tinguished names

The shocking accident at Rutland, which
brought James c. Barretts life to an un-
timely end is likely to put very decided
damper on whatever enthusiasm has been
felt for tobogganing in Vermont. 1t GER
tainly ought to. At the time of the serious
accident to Brattleboro boy on the open
ing of the chute here we said "it takes a
great deal of modern pleasure manufactur-
ed to order to offset an accident and life
long injury like this :" but here is a case
tenfold worse with death in form more
dreadful than if it had taken place on a bat
tle-field. Not all the pleasure which carni-
val crowds by the thousand have ever found
in the wild plunge down the chute can off
set the sorrow to the aged father, the wife
and children and the loss to the commun-
ty of promising life thus needlessly cut off
as it neared its prime. 1t would seem to be
entirely safe to say that nothing but gross
carelessness and responsibility could ac-
count for chute being built so that such
an accident was possible, but under the best
circumstances a person who commits him
self to the tender mercies of toboggan
chute places himself beyond all means of
personal control or chance to help himself
from the time he starts until he brings IN
at the foot. The modern improvement ON
the old-fashioned manly and legitimate fun
Of sliding down hill is not success.

TOWN AFFAIRS.

The town auditors report is now in the
hands of the printers, Messrs Selleck 4
Davis, and will be completed ready for dis
tribution next Monday. From the state
ments contained therein we learn that the
sclectmen expended the sum of 1881 -
upon the town hall building in fitting and
furnishing the post office and lookup: and
in the estimate for the coming year about
as much more is shown to be necessary pro
vided the building is furnished with steam
heating apparatus. balcony over the front
entrance, new floors, etc, as has been pro
posed. The income from the town hall the
past year amounted to Sll24, of which
S13S 40 was net. The sales of liquor through
the town agency amounted to S3943. 80.
the profits ON which were S451.0S The
year before the sales were not so large hy
some $500 This increase may be owing 10
variety of causes, one of which doubtless
is that all of the drug stores have shut off
in this line of business.
In the estimate of expenses for the com
ing year, besides that relating to the town
hall, are the items of $500 for widening
Elliot street as determined upon year or
two ago, and $1,000 for repairing bridges.
with these items included, the auditors fig
